   The decor and views of Birmingham were amazing. The food was exceptional in quality. However, one of our group was vegetarian. There was only one starter and one main she could choose from the Sunday lunch menu and although she thoroughly enjoyed the taste of both, the portion size was extremely small compared to the other dishes around the table. On the opposite side of the scale, the size of the roasts and the vegetable accompaniments were plentiful. Overall a very nice set menu lunch, but the portion sizes for the vegetarian dishes should be increased to warrant the same price tag as the larger meat and fish options.

   Great food and service as always. However the background music (played by DJ) was a tad loud for table conversation.

   I absolutely loved my first visit here. I've lived in Birmingham 27 years and never seen my city from such a hight. a real thrill and a window table made it truly special especially on a clear night. Food and service in particular were impeccable

   Service slow Accepted cash and for some ridiculous reason do not give change which silly person brought in this stupid rule
   

   Orelle BirminghamResponded 6 days ago

   Dear William, Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that we transitioned to being a cashless restaurant several months ago, and this is noted on our website. On this occasion, we did accept cash as a gesture of goodwill, but since we no longer handle cash transactions, we weren’t able to provide change. Our team made every effort to explain this beforehand, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to streamline our processes. We hope to welcome you back for a smoother experience in the future. Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    The service was absolutely awful. The starters were brought out while we still had plates from the snacks, which hadn’t been cleared away beforehand. The starters were then plated without clearing the table properly. We had one vegan in our party, and when the waitress asked if we wanted bread, we said yes. However, it was served with non-vegan butter, and there were no vegan alternatives such as olive oil provided. We waited for well over an hour for our food, which was only the Sunday roast they were serving. When it finally arrived, all the vegetables were cold.

    Dear Anna, Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. The issues you mentioned, from the timing of service to the lack of a proper vegan alternative and the delay with cold vegetables, fall far short of the standards we aim to provide. We are addressing these concerns with our team to ensure better coordination and attentiveness in the future. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance. Please feel free to reach out directly so we can ensure your next visit is exceptional. Warm regards, Orelle Management Team
